Kylie Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I've read only a couple of pages of my book so far today, but I should get some more reading in shortly. I also placed a book order with Amazon, seeing as the Aussie dollar is doing well at the moment. This means I shall shortly be joining the ranks of all you Sookie Stackhouse fans. And I've ordered a few others as well, which I'm very excited about.
green Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Tried to finish The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue last night but kept nodding off(not 'cos the book's that bad!),finished it earlier this morn(fairies/changelings),and started The Bohemian Girl by Kenneth Cameron after.(Victorian London/crime)
Guest velocipede2288 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Just finished, Whispering Wind. by Frederick Forsyth. A fantasy western, where a scout at the Little , Horn, escaping from pursuit, goes to sleep in a cave, and wakes up in 1970's. Crazy, but gripping. About to start The Anatomy of Crime. by Joseph F. Dinneen. Based on the Brinks robbery of $2.500,000 Edited October 11, 2009 by velocipede2288
BookJumper Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 It's Robert Rankin meets Neil Gaiman. Simple as.... *rubs hands together gleefully*! My book activity of the day? HitchCon starts in about two hours! Am just about to don my jimjams, dressing-gown and towel and head off to the Southbank for a day filled with Pangalacticgargleblasters on a sad note, my leatherbound Hitchhiker's did not make it here from the States in time... I just know it's going to arrive in the post first thing tomorrow ! There will be a full write-up upon my return with piccies!
Janet Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I finished The Gates by John Connolly. I looked in Tesco but we don't have it in - in paperback or otherwise. *Curses living in area with no bookshop*
Stephanie2008 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Still reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire but should be finished today
Lucybird Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Finished The Wind-up Bird Chronicle last night in bed. Started What was Lost by Catherine O'flynn this morning.
Peacefield Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Hmm not sure if they're all as gory as The Bone Garden, I can't remember them being but it's been a while since I read them, but Tess Gerritsen used to be a doctor, so they all tend to lean more that way medically. It makes a lot of sense hearing that she was a doctor, Lexie, since her writing is pretty medically-detailed . I'll take a browse of her other books and see which might appeal to me, since sometimes I'm just in the mood for some good old suspense. Hopefully my only book activity today won't primarily consist of packing them in boxes! I'll be sure to squeeze in a chapter or two before bed tonight .
Lucybird Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Have written my review for The Wind-up Bird Chronicle now
MuggleMagic Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Finished The White Queen by Philippa Gregory and am going to start The Lost Book of Salem tomorrow I hardly read at the weekends
chesilbeach Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Finished Untamed this afternoon, and have either The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong or Hunted by P.C. and Kristin Cast to follow on with, although I also have a book I've been asked to review to read as well, but it's a weighty beast and I can't face it at the moment!
Talisman Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I am nearing the end of Past Imperfect with only 100 or so pages to go. It really is a very long book, but I am enjoying it, even if I am reading it a little slowly. Not sure what I will read next, will have to check the TBR pile as usual.
northernnutter Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Finished 'the famished road', by Ben Okri last night. Beautiful book. Started 'The way of the shadows', by Brent Weeks today. Pretty good so far! Northernnutter.

page turner Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I finished Pride and Prejudice on Saturday and it went striaght into my favourites - why I didn't read this years ago I'll never know. I'm starting on Morgassa's Folly by Paul Collins and Danny Willis

Jack Dawkins Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Went to Borders with the intention of buying the Historian and Let the Right One In, sadly they wanted $28 for the Historian and $33 for Let the Right One in! I've just checked Amazon(uk) I can get both books for about $40(
Nollaig Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Read 70 pages of Dracula so far tonight, and will read another 30 or so - plan to read at least 150 tomorrow and finish it on Tuesday, to begin it's sequel Tuesday evening. I'm now well past any point I ever made it to before and I do really love it - it's definately on the list of books I want to acquire an old copy of from the earlier half of the 1900's.
